Abstract
This study underscores the value of the verbal language in the context of the "mass culture", which pays more attention to icons and gestures. It also highlights the sociopolitical extent of words and the risk of their manipulation. Words constitute the most essential vehicle of human relationships. At the end of the article some considerations are exposed about linguistic corruption on bioethics so prevailing nowadays.
